Any business that could conceivibly have a 'back office'. Also Schools,
Libraries, etc.
While many small business just have a 'bunch' (3-10 say) desktops in an
office just have an 'ad hoc' network of desktops, many of these same
business would benifit from a small file server:
1) automated backups -- the desktop machines could be backed up to the
server's disk(s) daily.
2) file sharing, in a non "ad hoc" way (less random fumbling around
finding the needed files).
3) Intranet services, including intra-office e-mail and messaging.
The server could also have things like a small MySQL database
containing important business information (client lists, budgeting
data, HR & payrol data, etc.).
Come up with a good sales pitch covering these ideas and go through your
local Yellow Pages for small insurance, legal, contractor, etc.
businesses. A retail business with multiple POS terminals might also be
a candidate for this as well. Any retail store with a "complex"
inventory (like a book store - many *different* things, but only a few
of each unique thing -- can you say MySQL database...).
